All manufacture is done in-house or close to Pathos' factory in Vincenza, Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThink of the directness of SET with the control and damping of solid state. Pathos' patented and unique InPol technology allows the tube input stage to effectively drive your speakers with no further amplification. A dual InPol circuit delivers the low impedance and high current needed for a high damping factor, allowing for immense control over your loudspeaker drivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn optional HiDac Mk2 converter offers a high-quality onboard DAC with digital inputs. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is InPol?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you listen to music, you’re not just hearing notes—you’re experiencing emotion. That’s the promise of Pathos’ revolutionary InPol technology: a design created to deliver all of that emotion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditional amplifier designs force a compromise between the warmth of tubes and the control of solid-state. InPol (short for Inseguitore Pompa Lineare, or Linear Pump Tracker) erases that compromise. It’s a patented, fully balanced, class-A topology where a single triode stage handles all voltage amplification—and maintains 100% of its sonic signature—while the InPol circuit delivers the current gain needed to drive even the most demanding speakers effortlessly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFeatures of InPol\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1. Pure Class-A with No Distortion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInPol doesn’t dilute or \"correct\" the tube signal with negative feedback or transistor interference. Instead, it uses a specially designed current amplifier that mirrors the exact character of the tube stage, with zero phase shift or tonal coloration. The result? The harmonic beauty and liquidity of tubes, with the authority and grip of solid state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Emotionally Engaging Sound\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere’s a reason Pathos fans describe InPol amps as “addictive.” Music flows with natural presence, dimensionality, and richness—an emotional connection that standard designs just can’t replicate. Voices are human, strings are alive, and the soundstage breathes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Exclusive, Patented Technology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnly Pathos builds amplifiers like this. The InPol circuit is a patented innovation, handcrafted in Italy and unavailable from any other brand. This isn’t another copycat design—it’s a true original for those who want something extraordinary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. The Best of Both Worlds\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTube magic meets muscle.

Class-A with Efficiency\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTraditional class-A amps waste enormous energy as heat. InPol’s design cleverly maximizes thermal and electrical efficiency, delivering the full benefits of class-A operation with far fewer compromises—proving you can have purity and performance in one stunning machine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eItalian Design\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the Remix doesn't have the wood front  panel shared by many Pathos products, the Pathos story is best told by a tree. Specifically, the entire padouk tree trunk that's bought by this Italian audio manufacturer, then cut into planks in-house, with the final pieces hand-polished by the son of the Pathos owner himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe panel may not contribute to the sound, but this approach says everything about the great sonics you do hear. Having control of entire manufacturing processes from start to finish means that the Pathos TT is the very best amp it can possibly be at its price-point. These are the very best amps Kevin has heard, and it is Pathos that he has picked for his reference system at home. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stereo integrated amplifier, pure class A with double INPOL technology, fully balanced, digital bias\/gain set technology\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Power:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 x 25 W @ 8 Ohm, 2 x 38 W @ 4 Ohm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTube Complement:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 x ElectroHarmonix ECC88\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInput Sensitivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 470 mVRMS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInput Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 47 kOhm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Polarity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Selectable by remote control\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolume Regulator:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 x Burr Brown PGA2310 (180 steps 0.5 dB)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGain:\u003c\/strong\u003e 31 db unbalanced, 37 db balanced\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 Ω\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnalog Inputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x balanced XLR, 4 x RCA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDigital Inputs (with optional HiDac Mk2 board):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x USB B, 1 x S\/PDIF coaxial, 1 x S\/PDIF optical\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x pre out RCA, 1 x pre out XLR, 1 x 6.3 mm headphone \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeadphone Specifications\u003cbr\u003eOutput Power:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.65 W @ 32 Ω\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.45 Ω\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMax Output Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.6 VRMS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency Response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 Hz - 400 kHz ± 0.5 db\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHD:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.025%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (WDH):\u003c\/strong\u003e 11\" x 14.8\" x 6.7\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28. lb\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pathos","offers":[{"title":"Matte Metallic Black","offer_id":22481963712572,"sku":"PA-IPR2-MB","price":5895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Lacquered White","offer_id":29206272966716,"sku":"PA-IPR2-LW","price":6499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Lacquered Black","offer_id":29206273097788,"sku":"PA-IPR2-LB","price":6499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Lacquered Red","offer_id":29206273163324,"sku":"PA-IPR2-LR","price":6499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1564\/1247\/products\/imagefullwide_2048x2048_ae818388-1142-4ec5-b3f2-fb37202c9c78.jpg?v=1741631755","url":"https:\/\/upscaleaudio.pro\/products\/pathos-inpol-remix-mk-ii-tube-hybrid-integrated-amplifier","provider":"Upscale Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
